 @pablo17667140 Yeah they are kicking ass. I would have like to see Poland invest more in their own manufacturers and they are amazing me everyday. Talk about a country who gets shit done!

@jimpark8379 That is true but American companies are pretty uhhh open. They would sure sell their effin souls to make a buck for the shareholders. I mean it wouldn't make sense for any company to work with some other company when it doesn't benefit themselves in some way. I was using Isreal and Australia as an example of working with companies while also maintaining their own manufacturing. It benefits all involved opposed to just purchasing manufacturing rights or just buying items... Why? Geopolitics change on a dime! It is good to have your own scientist and engineers while supporting the towns local businesses as well. People do forget a lot of the money that goes into the defense industry and military is recycled back into the economy. (Still need to crack down on corruption and get rid of the monopolies while increase auditors to 1980 levels.)

South Korea is getting in on it too now. French definitely and perhaps Japan are still salty about Australia going with the UK and America so they could build their own subs. Which is the smartest move for every country - invest in your own manufacturer's and it will pay off. Might not get the best for the least amount of money but you help your own people and don't have to worry as much on geo-politics. I'm all for countries going the Isreal route. Build your own but work with the best. Isreal doesn't mind working with Raytheon for instance for missile defense and it benefits both countries significantly.
